I have a 2 year old set of Michelin Primacy MXM4s on my MKZ. They have about 20K miles on them.
A few months back, I noticed two bubbles in the side wall of my right rear tire. I took it back and had it replaced under road hazard. Last week, I noticed the right front had bubbled up also, and in looking it over I spotted one on the left front. I have an appointment Wednesday evening to replace those two-they'll be under pro-rated road hazard, so I'm just going to do the 4th one also-I hate throwing away a good tire, but I also don't want to have one mis-matched one.
In any case, I'm wondering if I have a case for asking them to take a closer look for a defect in the tires. I know bubbles are USUALLY a product of sidewall impact, but I'm extremely careful about making sure they're properly inflated(32psi all around per the door sticker) and about avoiding potholes/etc. These are a 245/45/17, which is not something I'd consider overly low profile.
Any thoughts on this?
